Hello everyone. This is Funasen.

Today, with the movie coming out in December, Zero-One announced three exciting new products!

1. "DX Eden Zetsumerise Key & Eden Driver Unit"!
2. "DX Hellrise Progrise Key"!!
3. "DX Slash Abbott Riser & Shot Abbott Riser"!!! 



All the characters have already been revealed, so we have started taking pre-orders ahead of the movie's release.
We will be accepting orders until after the film is released, so you will have plenty of time to consider purchasing after seeing the film.

What catches your eye the most is the inclusion of Hideaki Ito's dialogue voice!​
The actor himself was happy that his voice would be included in the toy, and I think he enjoyed the recording process.
It'll be a while before we can see the movie, but KAMEN RIDER Eden is cool no matter how you look at it, so I hope you'll definitely get it.

The Hellrise Key is used to transform into the mysterious Zero One.
The visual for this character has also already been released, but he has a sinister appearance and is called "Hell," so he does have a rather evil vibe.
Please look forward to the release of the movie to find out who this person is.
By the way, the protruding part on the left end that resembles an "assault grip" is integrated and cannot be removed.

The "Slash Abbott Riser & Shot Abbott Riser" are a set of transformation items for the enemy rider group in the movie.
There are four KAMEN RIDER Abaddon, and each of them uses a different riser to transform.
Although the risers are different, the Progrise Keys and buckles used are the same, so it has been decided that the risers will be released as a set item containing two types only.
Please note that only one key and one buckle are included in the package.

This concludes our introduction to the Zero One items.


Now, we will introduce some gimmicks related to the CSM SENGOKU DRIVER!
Before that, it was announced on "Pre-Ban Lab" last week,
The lineup for the "CSM Lockseed Team Baron Set" has been revealed!



This set includes the lockseeds and faceplates of the riders that Team Baron members Kaito, Zack, and Peko transform into.
Kaito has already used a few Lockseeds, but these will come as a set with a more appropriate belt and faceplate, so please stay tuned for more details on this project.

That's right, this product will be the first Energy Lockseed to be released prior to the release of the Genesis Driver!
And the first one to transform into Jimber will be Knuckle, not Gaim!
This is a rather unusual order, but I think this is typical of Gaim, where items are linked to a wide variety of things (which can be confusing).
That is to say, after giving the remake a lot of thought, this lineup was the only option.

The Black Baron's faceplate has the same design as the "Proto Baron" that appeared in the stage version of "KAMEN RIDER Zangetsu", so only one is included in the set as a common item.
The "Banana Lockseed (unnumbered)" used by Black Baron was not included in this set as we felt that if two items with the same audio were included, one numbered and the other unnumbered, over 80% of people would want it to be cheaper and not have it.
In addition to this Lockseed, Gaim has several other items with different letters, such as an unnumbered version of Pomegranate and a prototype version of Dragon Fruit Energy.
I think that these are things that only a very select few Gaim enthusiasts will want among those who buy this series.
We would like to release it ourselves, but if this series continues to develop in the future, we think that in the future we may be able to release a set consisting of these types of niche items, so please continue to support the series.

The Lockseed Team Baron Set will be available for preorder next year.
Please wait for a while.


Now, on to the main subject, SENGOKU DRIVER gimmick. Here's what we'll be introducing to you today!



① The sound of putting on a faceplate will activate the initialization sound for each character within the range depicted in the movie.
In the movie, there was no scene where the faceplate was attached (though there was the Genesis Core), but when the belt was first put on, an initialization sound was played. In the case of Baron and Ryugen, it was the sound of the power switch being turned on for the Lockseed.
These are the initialization sounds that are played when each faceplate is attached.
For Gaim, the sound is not the power-on sound of the Orange Lockseed, but the "clink" sound that is made when you turn on SENGOKU DRIVER. When you put on the belt in episode 1, the sound overlaps with the sound of putting it on.
For characters not featured in the film, the above Gaim voice will be used as a generic voice.

② When the Lockseed is not equipped, press the sound effect button to activate the belt equipping sound.
The Lockseed unequipped state is the pre-transformation state, so by pressing the sound effect button
Short press ⇒ Sound effect like the "click" of taking out SENGOKU DRIVER
Press and hold ⇒ 1st time: Depending on the faceplate you are wearing, the “belt first wearing sound” will be played, with the “initialization sound” explained in ① added.
From the second time onwards: The normal "belt fastening sound" will sound.​
Fifteen's belt fastening sound is different from the other characters, so this has also been programmed differently for each faceplate.


We are currently in the process of creating the voice program for the driver itself, but don't be fooled; there are new gimmicks added that are so completely different from the DX version that it's hard to tell, or even mistake, for the real thing.
In Gaim, depending on the character and episode, there may or may not be a transformation standby sound, a cut sound or not, a lock-off voice or not, etc. The presentation changes each time, which honestly is extremely troubling, but we are working to sort it out to a certain extent (although we can't necessarily comprehensively differentiate between them) and make it work as a gimmick.
We will be introducing many of the gimmicks of the revamped SENGOKU DRIVER itself in next week's blog.

There's a really packed schedule next week!
That's all for today's blog.

The next update will be on Monday, November 30th.
Well then!
